Dang... hit send too soon.

I wanted to add a postscript to say that the idea of Electors campaigning is not so far fetched.

In California, during the 2003 recall election of Governor Gray Davis, there was a two-part ballot: part one was yes/no to recall Davis, and part two was whom to vote for as his replacement. There were no primaries, only announced candidates.

There were 135 candidates on the recall ballot, so having a ballot with many candidates for the Electoral College is not impossible.

I will add this, though, for humor's sake: while Arnold Schwarzenegger won the recall with 48.58% of the ballot, a man named George B. Schwartzman came in 9th place, possibly because his name appeared right above Schwarzenegger's on the ballot.

Despite idiots and moralists, the question is what our Founders meant.
